Some on the far right claim Chai Feldblum's policy positions disqualify her for a position on the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. Unable to attack Feldblum's sterling credentials, opponents of her nomination are turning to vague personal attacks, out-of-context quotations and irrelevant criticisms that in no way reflect her ability to protect American workers from unfair (and illegal) discrimination as a member of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.

While conservatives in the media have called Lloyd a "neo-Nazi" who wants to shut down conservative media, he has explicitly rejected the premise of the Fairness Doctrine. He simply wants to "expand media opportunities for women, people of color, small businesses, and those living in rural areas."

John Holdren, Director of the White House Office of Science & Technology Policy has been accused of supporting "forced abortions" and "mass sterilization" in order to control the population.
